The startup uses a stellarator design that reduces manufacturing complexity by limiting magnet variants — 12 large magnets built from four templates and over 300 identical smaller magnets software-controlled for plasma fine-tuning. This pixel-inspired approach aims to lower construction costs and tolerances. Thea has now raised $120 million total and targets a commercial fusion power plant by the mid-2040s. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
